Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Despite largely positive reviews, several Galaxy Z Fold 7 users report difficulty opening the device due to its ultra-thin sides and strong magnets. Community members have tried cases, skins, grip tape, and techniques like optimal thumb placement as workarounds.

The ‘Predator’ Dropped In San Diego For a Surprise ‘Badlands’ Experience

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-28 11:00:38

Usually, activations at San Diego Comic-Con are announced at least a few weeks in advance. That gives fans an opportunity to prioritize their favorites, map them out, and then hit the ground running. This year though, one major experience seemed to join the party late. That’s Predator Badlands, which took over a huge section attached to the Hard Rock Hotel across from the convention center.

Why I do programming

This piece was inspired by this post by Aaron Boodman. I remember myself as a calm, quiet kid, happiest when I had a bunch of wires in my hands. My parents used to give them to me as toys along with a screwdriver and an old cassette player I could take apart and try to put back together. I was three years old. I didn’t know what I was doing, but I loved the feeling of exploring the insides of a machine, trying to understand how it works. In first grade, I was introduced to MS-DOS and Logo with

An Even Scarier Predator Hunted Giant ‘Terror Birds’ in South America

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-12-28 10:00:44

Sometime between 16 and 11.6 million years ago, a young caiman came upon a tasty snack in modern-day South America. The meal, however, turned out to be rather ambitious, because the croc hadn’t come upon just any old prey. It was a phorusrhacid, a large carnivore in its own right, aptly known as a “terror bird.” The now-extinct terror bird wouldn’t have given in without a fight—unless, of course, it was already dead, and the opportunistic croc simply scavenged its dead body.
